The Bio-Plex Pro RBM kidney toxicity assays, developed in partnership with Myriad RBM, comprise a highly relevant set of biomarkers for early detection and characterization of kidney toxicity/injury. Myriad RBM’s close collaboration with the Predictive Safety Testing Consortium (PSTC), FDA, and European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) was instrumental in the selection of markers found in these panels.

The assays are built on magnetic beads to enable robust quantification of multiple proteins in canine urine samples, providing valuable information throughout drug development — from lead optimization to preclinical and clinical protocol decision making. Assays are offered as premixed all-in-one kits for research involving:

Drug-induced kidney toxicity

Diabetes

High blood pressure

Glomerulonephritis

Polycystic kidney disease

Chronic infection

SLE (lupus) and other autoimmune disorders

Bio-Plex Pro RBM canine kidney toxicity assays are available as one panel and an albumin kit:
